GURUGRAM: Stephen Gallacher, who played in the final group last year, but finished tied-seventh, went all the way this time to end his five-year winless drought by taking the $1.75 million Hero Indian Open at the Gary Player layout at the DLF Golf and Country Club on Sunday.

Gallacher, 44, who last won in 2014 in Dubai, shot 71 to finish at nine-under 279 and was one shot clear of Masahiro Kawamura of Japan who carded 73 and totaled eight-under 280.
